indian politics has the memory of a goldfish — and the hypocrisy of a circus. Hardoi mp naresh Agarwal once openly insulted Hindu Gods inside Parliament, sparking outrage, anger, and condemnation. In any sane democracy, such a move would have ended a career. But in India, a change of jersey erases sins. Agarwal switched sides, joined the BJP, and suddenly, the very outrage machine that demanded his head turned silent. This isn’t politics. This is power laundering — where ideology is optional, loyalty is negotiable, and forgiveness is a commodity.
1. The Insult That Shook Parliament
Naresh Agarwal wasn’t vague or subtle — he directly demeaned Hindu Gods in the temple of democracy. The backlash was instant and fiery. His comments were replayed, dissected, and condemned across the country. The verdict was clear: unforgivable.
2. The Miraculous Redemption
And yet, the miracle happened. Agarwal joined the BJP. Suddenly, the same leaders who once roasted him welcomed him with garlands and smiles. Overnight, a blasphemer was baptized as a nationalist. Forgiveness didn’t come from faith; it came from party membership.
3. The Hypocrisy of Selective Outrage
If a rival leader had made the same comments, the streets would have burned with protests, hashtags would have trended, and “hurt sentiments” would have dominated prime-time debates. But when it’s someone who joins the ruling party, outrage dies a quiet death. Selective outrage isn’t just hypocrisy — it’s political convenience dressed as morality.
4. The Message to the Voter
What does this teach the public? That ideology doesn’t matter. That insulting the Gods doesn’t matter. That is the only thing that matters is whether you wear the right colors at the right time. This is not politics of conviction — this is politics of opportunism.
5. Gods Used, Gods Forgotten
For decades, Hindu Gods have been weaponized in speeches, rallies, and campaigns. But the moment real power enters the equation, even insults to those very Gods can be conveniently erased. Faith isn’t the priority — power is. And naresh Agarwal’s story is proof.
🔥 Bottomline: In indian politics, there are no permanent enemies, no permanent sins — only permanent interests. naresh Agarwal insulted Hindu Gods, then joined the BJP, and everything was “forgiven.” Not because the insult didn’t matter, but because power always matters more than principles.
